Motorcycles are a dangerous mode of transportation. Approximately 14% of all traffic-related fatalities take place on motorcycles. This is a large number when you consider that only 3% of all registered vehicles are motorcycles. The odds of being in a serious or fatal motorcycle crash are much greater when compared to a crash involving a typical passenger vehicle.
